Summary

선박 및 항만 장비에 장착해 전체 배출물의 90~98%를 절감할 수 있는 공기·가스 필터링 기술 

Description

 Bulgarian Company, active in the field of air and gas filtering technologies and experienced in technologies to improve  the cabin air quality in private jets and ambient air quality for commercial aircraft fleet, is currently developing a new  solution for reducing emissions from the maritime industry (ships and port) by 98%.

 Maritime companies are forced to cut emissions in order to comply with EU requirements and need to choose between  options that are either expensive, or cannot retrofit the whole fleet, or incur massive operational costs, or biofuels that  compete for scarce agricultural land, or solutions that are not yet fully developed (ex: hydrogen).

 The new technology will make it possible for shipowners and port operators to keep up to the EU requirements and  comply with the Agenda 2050 in an efficient and sustainable way – with low acquisition and operational costs.

 The solution is by 6-8 times lower in both, the capital and operational expenses compared to the existing solutions such  as scrubbers, catalyst, electrification, hydrogen, biofuels and fuel additives.

 The main advantage of the technology is that it is the only solution, able to collect Black Carbon, Ash, Volatile organic  compounds (VOC), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and other gases simultaneously.

 The design is modular and fits into one compact body, retrofittable to small, mid-size and large vessel and to any type of  port’s equipment, with a life span of 30-40 years.

 The technology for its Maritime applications is tested in lab, then on a diesel-run forklift, pivoted and is entering its final  Pilot stage before available for demonstration.

 A Pilot would take approximately 5-6 months, including all phases – agreement, customized design and specifications,  production, installation, outcome measurement, and assessment.

 The company is now looking for Strategic partners (ship owners, ship repairing, port operators, diesel engine  manufacturers) in Maritime sector to run the First Pilot and to demonstrate the product performance, as well as to assess  the business viability in detail.

 The following types of cooperation are sought:

 Commercial agreement with technical assistance: Looking to set up an agreement for a Pilot installation where sharing  resources is essential, shared Pilot funding (50/50 split), testbed facilities - marine vessel or port equipment).

 Research and Development Cooperation agreement:

 Specific technological capacities and expertise are sought for the assessment of the solution and for potential further co-  development of a range of products.

 Investment Agreement: The company is raising equity investment to speed up the Pilot execution and run multiple Pilots  simultaneously and to grow.

 Partners from all countries are welcomed, including countries with traditions in maritime industry Greece, Norway,  France, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Estonia and practically every other  country.
